It’s Time To Light A Fire Under M’s

There’s just no fire in the M’s. You would think after being on the road and coming home you would see some energy on the field. Although M’s manager Don Wakamatsu liked the effort last night in the loss to Toronto, I tend to disagree. They just don’t have any luster.

The M’s are really doing nothing to get excited about. You know when you would rather switch to American Idol there’s something wrong.

Last night’s game marked the return of Milton Bradley, who notched a nice broken bat blooper with two outs in the fourth. Franklin Gutierrez made a great catch in the fifth inning at the center field wall. Ichiro always does something special on the field, this time with an RBI single in the seventh. But we expect that from Ichiro.

It’s time for the trademark Lou Piniella blow up. Wakamatsu needs to do something to light a fire. Maybe he’s doing something in the clubhouse we don’t know about.

Whatever it is, something needs to change. And it needs to happen soon.
